| LONDON, June 1S-When the debate was
resumed the Crimes bill last evening,
Henry Fowler, Liberal, moved an amend
ment requiring before the enforcement of
clause (Which deals with proclaiming
dangerous associations) that the consent of
| both houses of Parliament should be OBJ
| tanned. This, he said, was the most danger
Gus clause of the bill and ought to be re-
sisted to the uttermost. Mr.. Balfour, Chief
| Sc cretary for Ireland, opposed the amend
ment, saying that it would only lead to a
waste of the time of Parliament. Mr..
Gladstone admitted that it would be i'm
possible to prevent discussion over procla-
| nations.
Mr.. Dillon declared that the belief was
universal in Ireland that the bill was main
ly directed against the National League,
and the powers which the clause put into
| the hands of the Viceroy would be speedily
| used for the suppression of the league,
| which would result in a greater crop of
misery and hatred in Ireland. Mr.. Fowler
amendment was rejected-233 to III.
Several more amendments having been
disposed OF the chairman put the question
| whether the clause should stand as part of
| the bill Sir Charles Russell entreated the
| House to consider gravelY the objectiona-
| bic character of the clause.
While Mr.. Russell was speaking the hour
| of ten arrived and the ministerial benches
/
| the Hobbies. The Parnellites simultaneous
| ly arc Sc and left the House, the chairman
| twice calling upon them to resume their
seats. Amid great confusion a division
| was ordered and the clause adopted by a
vote of 332 to 163.
| The GladstOnians returned after.the vot-
| ing, but the division having been declared,
| Immediately arose in a body and withdrew
| amid Conservative cheers and laughter.
| The remaining clauses were put and car
| ried without comment and the bill passed
the committee stage, the Conservatives
again cheering. The report stage Of the
bill was fixed for June2 %.
After the division the Gladstonians re-
turned to hear the result, and then left the
House altogether, the majority having
| paired for the remainder of the evening.
Not a single Parnellite voted. All left
the precincts of the House Immediately.
The Unionists voted solidly with the Gov
eminent.
A conference was held between the Glad
stonians and Parnellites last night, at
which the course to be pursued relative to
the Crimes bill was decided upon The
more violent of the Parnellites agreeo 20
abandon their obstructive course in defer
ence to Gladstone's wishes. The Parnell-
ties will move the remainder of their
amendments during the report stage of the
bill.
NOT AN ABDUCTION.
LONDON, June 1S.-The Standards Paris
correspondent has been informed that it IS
certain that the Countess Campos has
eloped with NJ. Garbeux, formerly private
secretary to the Duke of Pasquier, and
both are now in the vicinity of Paris. AS
result of the inquiries the police are of
the opinion that the affair was prearranged,
and as both are of age, they will not in
terfere. 1t is alleged that the abduc-
tor wrote a letter to the young
lady instructing her to wear a light
dress if she was willing to accompany
him; otherwise wear dark dress. On the
day before the alleged abduction it is re-
ported that the lady implored her milliner
to be punctual with a new light dress, and
it is said that she wore the same dress in
the Bots de Boulogne. EX-Queen Isabella
does not believe the lady consented to go,
and has written letter to the authorities
asking them to pursue the matter further.
ALI kinds of rumors are in circulation, but
no facts can be learned.
AN AMERICAN CITIZEN.
PARIS, June 1S.-United States Minister
McLane has demanded of NJ Flourens, the
French Minister of Foreign Affairs, the
release of Baron Raymond Selliere, brother
of the Princess Sugar, who was recently
placed in lunatic asylum by relatives on
the ground that he had become insane re-
speeding the fabulous fortune he imagined
u
ness relations with Gould and Mackay.
Mr.. McLane submitted information show
ing that the Baron in 1886, in New York,
declared his intention of becoming natur-
allied citizen of the United States, and con-
tended that such declaration entitled the
Bar on to the treatment due an American
citizen abroad. The French Cabinet will
consider the question at its next session.

Enthusiastically received on his arrival here
yesterday afternoon and presented with
the freedom of the city. He said that the
greatest danger he had encountered in
Canada was not at the hands of Orangemen
but of impetuous friends, as he had feared
